Hi. Sorry, I've lost the original post to this Flashplayer on FC5 problem.
I have no such problems with Flashplayer and Firefox.
Firefox version 1.5.0.3-1.1.fc5 (from latest FC5 updates)
Kernel: 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma (from planetccrma)
Extra Alsa packages are all from planetccrma, including "alsa-oss" the alsa
emulation layer for OSS.
Flash tried on http://laracameron.com/main.html . Some of her stuff needs
Flash, including sounds, and it works ok.
My Flashplayer install.
I have Apt installed, and added to /etc/apt/sources.list
rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org/ rpm macromedia
I could not find a GPG key for it on their site, so after DL'ing the
flash-plugin using Synaptic, you have to uncheck the verify signature box
otherwise it won't install.
Then ran (as root) /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup, and the Flashplayer just
worked with Firefox, and no problems.
I can't say much more, as it just seems to work,
Nigel.
I've
upgraded to FC5, and I'm slowly inching my way up to get audio
working (PlanetCCRMA). I have a particular problem in that Flash video
works fine, but I have no audio (occurs in Firefox, Opera and
Konqueror.) I've searched for a solution and really haven't found
anything that works. Some reports have said that a chmod to /dev/dsp of
0666 will help. Others say that changing the permissions on the
"plugins" directory will do the trick. Nope, not for me.
I noticed that I had no /dev/dsp. So, I kinda figured that maybe the
Flash plugin hard defaults to writing to /dev/dsp. So I made one with
./MAKEDEV audio... and sure enough, a dsp1 was made. However, I still
have no audio when playing flash in a browser.
Anyone come across this problem? Any ideas?

There is a special yum repo for macromedia. Try installing flash with
that as described on this page:

For me this did the trick.
